Forbidden Planet (1956) - Blu-ray Forum

Kirsty_Mc · 02-11-2008, 02:33 AM

There has been a bit of talk about classics / back catalogue items not selling. Specifically CE3K is supposed to have disappointed Sony Pictures... So I thought a poll on this classic Sci-Fi film of the 1950s would be useful to gauge it's BD release.

I will get it. But I'm still waitin' for Ice Pirates

kiskiboy97 · 02-11-2008, 02:37 AM

Can't wait!

Ice Pirates...loved it as a kid!

I must admit it didn't do much for me as an adult though when I bought the DVD a while back.

hoogoosedmoose41 · 02-11-2008, 02:39 AM

what id like to see is The Day The earth Stood Still .... i bet the black and white would look amazing in blu

and Casablanca, and Robin Hood, and......

turboedguy · 02-11-2008, 02:44 AM

Absolutely.

Blu Titan · 02-11-2008, 02:45 AM

I love Sci Fi, and this one is a must! The story and effects are still so much fun to watch.

Zyclone · 02-11-2008, 02:50 AM

hopefully they release it in Tin Box form like they did on HD DVD.

Kristin Simard · 02-11-2008, 02:52 AM

I'll get this one and I'd also like for classic 50's-60's SiFi:

Attack of the 50' Woman
Last Woman on Earth
One Million Years BC

(like I say, "sometimes cheese is good")

Oh No... apparently that even annoyed the HD-DVD fanboys. Apparently the Robbie the Robot model was tacky... even for somebody with an HD-DVD player.

Sylin · 02-11-2008, 03:33 AM

It's already on my pre-order list. As soon as I can, I'm placing my order.

Same here, but I can imagine the rants on that ("Why the heck is it fullscreen?!") when people see the OAR

Animusmors · 02-11-2008, 05:05 AM

I was one of the few who bought CEOTK on Blu so i'm not to blame for Sony's disappointment.

I love sci-fi movies, Forbidden Planet is a must buy for me even if it comes with the tacky robot, I love that kind of junk. The day the Earth Stood still is cool. I gotta pick up the 20million miles to earth. Too many movies to buy and too little money.

Marcusarilius · 02-11-2008, 06:35 AM

I'll be standing in line the night before at BB for Forbidden Planet.

It will be interesting to see if they stay with the original theatrical aspect ratio on this title. I beleive Forbidden Planet was one of the few movies of the 1950s where they used the three cameras projecting on three screens. (Long and very narrow profile when viewed on a TV.)

This title will be in my top 10 most anticipated release of 2008.

blitz6speed · 02-11-2008, 06:40 AM

I will get it eventually, but not at release, since i am in no rush for it. But i WILL buy it.

eChopper · 02-11-2008, 06:56 AM

IF soNY is so dissapointed in "classics" like Close Encounters not selling so well , its just desserts for not releasing a classic that would sell in the tens of thousands world wide- namely lawrence Of Arabia

GregBlu5 · 02-11-2008, 09:25 AM

To me, it was the 50's equivalent of Star Wars. I've had it in LaserDisc and DVD. Certainly, I will buy it in Blu.

detector19 · 02-11-2008, 10:47 AM

Good movie I'd buy it...

Classic movies that can be watched in home theaters with nearly as good to better quality than the day they were released to commercial theaters? Gee, who'd be interested in that?
